How dead are our supposed ITKs this season? They really have nothing. Even the ridiculous ****e that we normally get has gone quiet.
Think he'll smash it in the Championship so long as Bruce and co look after him. Physically bigger than most his age and skill level is beyond 95% of 20 year olds. Done Walker no harm when we sent him to Villa so hopefully Josh follows suit. Glad he's signed a new deal, too.
its eerily quiet, PNP. Worrying that we're not hearing anything about players we're "close to signing" either. - Barkley seems to be the only one that's got any weight behind it!
Some would have us believe that Pochettino believes that the kids won't learn to play technically good football (ie as per his "philosophy" ) , won't learn from the seniors etc. So they will be 'technically good' , but have no significant real-world on-pitch senior-level experience for quite some time. I liked the recent regime. It has generally delivered, and sent an egalitarian message to academy prospects (you are not being asked to do something that the likes of Walker/Rose/Kane did not) .
Find alternative amusement then. Today I am enjoying a particular anti-Levy "straw man" rant being set up on the "Harry Hotspur" blog. Its premise is that the Mbappe to get Real Madrid rumours means that Bale is being sold, and that if Levy has first refusal but does not buy him blah blah blah rant rant rant.
I can't stand that pillock. All he does is attack the club. If he doesn't actually support a different side, then he should seriously consider it. He'd fit in very well at the Goons.
There are a number of Weblogs that profess to be Spurs but are anything but. That prick is the No.1 but 'To The Lane And Back' is unfailingly negative and there are others. I've never understood putting your own club down all the time. It's like keying your own car or setting fire to your own house. Surely, if you have to burn down some property, it would be better to do it to someone else's?
I'm fine with people criticising the club, as we do that on here quite a bit, even when things are going well. It's healthy. There's always room for improvement. The constant bitching and snide bullshit is just dumb, though. It's boring and blatant. Why bother? Must get him decent traffic, I guess.
Sometimes Levy deserves a lashing, but I also find that quite a bit of it should in fact be directed at Joe Lewis. Notably the inverse scenario to that of our Astra Googoo neighbours.
It's as if the club wants to ruthlessly expose them this summer, to the point where they can't even make up stories about a contract standoff without being made to look stupid within ten working days - which begs the question why they posted those stories to begin with, when you consider for the past eighteen months whenever the Sun or Mail run a story about a contract standoff there's always been a picture of that player with Poch's arm around them, a contract in front of them, and an announcement that their contract runs into the early part of the next decade. I'm certain that, if we won a League, FA Cup and Champions League treble, Harry Hotspur would rant about Levy for his lack of foresight or investment that cost us the League Cup that season.
Nailed for plagarism! I knew it sounded familiar but couldn't place the source. However, that's nothing compared to my wanton theft of lines from Arthur. I've made it my life's work to use as much of that film in my own life as is humanly possible. Probably the funniest film script of all time............ Don't you just hate Dave's wife?
Now that we've loaned out Onomah and Sissoko looks set to follow, has somebody warned Jack Roles that he's the next central midfielder at the club we will randomly decide is a winger?
Onomah got twelve minutes for John Terry's Aston Villa this evening. That's seven more than he usually gets for us!
